In CF 5 we had option for new user registration administrator approval.
That option is not implemented in CF 6, or I could not find it.

However, I can improvise by sending email with token for activation to administrator, and then administrator could activate user, and in the same time triggered email to inform user, I in this process there was one thing missing: Initial user email confirmation.
Does anybody knows how to implement fully functional new user registration administrator approval process?

Thank you.

There's a user registration demo form that includes user email verification.

Yes, there is, but there is no process for administrator approval. That process exist in CF 5.
So, how can I implement administrator approval process?

you can do all in v6, send emails to both user and admin first, and send another when the admin activates the user, where is the problem ?

I will try to make it easier in v7

Hi Max.
​
Thank you for reply.
Could you please explain with more details?
​
Workflow should be:

1. User fill the form for registration and submit request
2. User receives email with activation link
3. User click on link and that confirm user email and triggers email to admin to activate user
4. Admin receives email with link to activate user
5. Admin clik on link and activate user
6. User receives email with activation info

You can do that in v6, it's just instead of updating the user when they click the link, you send an email to the admin with the activation link!
​
If you have some time for this then I suggest that you download the new v7 to try it while this feature makes its way

Hi Max.
​
Thank you one more time for reply.
Right now I'm returning link as made of full url + activate code + uuid.
How can I instead of this send to user email trigger that will trigger send email to administrator with for activation link?
That is the only peas of puzzle that I need 😲

I think everything should be the same, but the activation page should reset the activation token of the user and keep the account blocked, then send an email to the admin to unblock the user!
​
If you are willing to use the new v7 for this form instead then I can also prepare an updated action for you!

Hi Max.
​
Thank you for reply.
Uninformatively, proposed solution is not good enough.
I have implemented next:

1. User fill the form for registration and submit request
2. User receives welcome email
3. At the same time, Admin receives email with activation link to activate user
4. When Admin activate user, user receives email with info about activation

This is acceptable, but only one thing is missing: User email confirmation.

Regarding CF 7, I will try it as soon as I finish with current project. My CF 6 implementation in this project is too complicated and forms are massive, so I do not have time to start all over again in CF 7.
